WHERE IS IT?

Gore orphanage is actully blocked off on both the north and south side. I hear there is another road in lorain leading into the site but we havent tried it yet.

Last year i went to gore orpanage with a few friends not knowing what to expect. We went at about 11:00 at night and as we went over the bridge to get there we saw white lights in front of us untill we reached the piller. None of us thought to bring flashlights due to the fact we thought it was a myth…all we had were the cell phone lights. As we got out of the car, a black cat was coming out of the woods and we didnt think much of it till i now look at this site! We never actually found the foundation of the ruins because of the lack of light but we did hear and see interesting things, things that make you believe that something unusual was going on there. We stuck together as a group and heard laughing of what seemed to be children then we would lightly hear steps of someone else as we would stand still. As we left the site and headed back to the car, we heard light crys and screams as if they were suffering severly…the worst when we went back to the car it was parked on the otherside of the road!!
Ive never been back to gore since last year, even though i didnt see the actual thing i get a pretty good idea of the eerie feeling and happenings going on around there!

I live probably 10-15 minutes roughly from the Gore Orphanage. In fact, my school news has done documentaries on it. People tend to really screw the story up, so here’s what everyone in Lorain Country actually hears:

Gore Orphanage started out as an actual mansion years and years ago. And when I say that, I mean very early 1900’s or late 1800’s. It housed the Wayward’s, and they had actually had two children that mysteriously died without any reasoning. Along with Mr. Wayward’s wife who later died some few years after, mysteriously. I believe somewhere between that time they were able to have one child who lived long enough to have a family of his own. And some many years later it is said an orphanage was built, and then you get the story that was just discussed here.

Gore Orphanage actually ISN’T where most people think it is. Most people actually go to the cemetery down the road from it thinking it’s Gore. But it’s not. The actual Gore Orphanage resides over the bridge, and there’s not much left but a few stone pillars, and pieces of the floor. Whether it was actually an Orphanage or not is still strongly debated. But it was, indeed, a mansion at one time. It IS documented that the Wayward’s lived there, and their children & and his wife did die with no evident cause. So whether you want to believe there’s something strange going on with the ‘Orphanage’, or not, there’s no doubt unexplainable events occur there.

dude thats not the story of this place i got. that story goes that there was an old man that was the care taker of the orphenage and he ddnt like children so he set fire to the place one night. and he also died an haunts it.

the story of the family living on gor eorphanage is true and thee got sickly ill and died the only thing ppl don’t tell you is that somewhere in the woods where this sits is a vampire cult in the wooods that likes to scare ppl away or capture them and do only god knows what

Can,t anyone get the story right. Go to the library
this is a way to find haunting out.
..Or call Ghost Hunter ..they will find the truth..

Hey has anyone been there recently? I was there several times when I was younger but haven’t been there in a while. My husband and some friends want to go but I heard that it wasn’t there anymore. So if anyone has been there recently please write me back at Daremim3@yahoo.com. Oh and also they want to go on Friday the 13th of October so write me back a.s.a.p. Thanks

I was there last night at 1a.m. there was 12 of us we all heard some girl screaming when we were walking down the trail to the foundation. We have a music box sound on a tape recorder and some low screaming. We set the tape recorder on the pillar and walked away then it would turn off and on by itself..no joke all this really happened!9 of us ditched out and waited in the car…when we got back to the house there was a little kids hand print on the back window!you must go and see for yourself!!!!

Iv been to gore many many times and when you get there there is pillers and all that stuff but if you walk up the road till u get to the top where the road is trashed and if u look down at the vally you can see spirits Or “Ghost” Playing and u can see the guys house who burnt down gore. while we were leaving are car wouldnt start for several mins and when we got it to start on the bridge it shut off again. then while we were going up the hill right befor were about to leave it shuts off again and the breaks stop working and the e-break stops work so we all had to jump out of the car and stop it.

I live in the next town over from gore, these are the facts:the location of the orphanage has no remains and when it burnt nobody died, the remains in the woods are from the swift house where the swift families 4 children ages 2-11 died in a seven day span.,those are the cries you hear.

Okay everyone. I went to the Lorain County Library and here’s what I found….http://www.lorain.lib.oh.us/local/history/gore1.asp Follow the link and it will lead you to a newspaper clipping regarding the “legend/true” story of the location. I hope this helps.

Ok people me and 2 of my friends went today and we were on gore orphange road but could not find the site could someone PLEASE e-mail me with directions on how to find the site once on the road!!!! We spent like two hours driving up and down the road looking for a path or ne thing that led to the woods and could not find ne thing!!!!!! star_light_beauty2006@yahoo.com

Gore Orphanage is a very interesting place in a really rural area of Ohio. I plan to go their sometime soon.

I was at the site back in the fall of 2005. Nothing strange happened. However, it is NOT on private property. In fact, it is now owned by the Metroparks, so you won’t be trespassing if you go there during daylight hours. You’ll see a sign for the park along side the road, and a small dirt trail heads to the foundation. The foundation is not that of the orphanage. The orphanage itself was on the other side of the road. The foundation that is there is of the Swift Mansion. Look it up on http://www.forgottenoh.com
